Fire and rescue personnel work hard, and they need a rugged tablet that works as hard as they do. A purpose-built tablet that can withstand extreme temperatures. The job calls for rugged tablets that are lightweight, easy to carry, durable and long-lasting. When fire season begins, fire and rescue teams work overtime to keep our community safe. They need technology that can keep up with the rapid pace in while keeping them safe on the job as well. Rugged tablets built for fire and rescue teams have many benefits both on the job and for prevention measures.
Tracking Fire Hydrant Maintenance
Fire hydrants must be serviced regularly to ensure that they can supply water to fire hoses at a moments notice. One of the ways that rugged tablets are used on the job is by keeping track of the dates and locations of the hydrants serviced. It helps reduce the chance of human error by allowing the data to be transmitted in real-time.
Documenting Fire Prevention Efforts
Cameras on the rugged tablets make documentation of fire prevention efforts easier. When photographic proof is needed, a high pixel camera is within reach. The LCD display has a capacitive touch and maintains its brightness outdoors in direct sunlight and even during the dark of night. Preventative measures are captured as theyre taken to provide concrete proof to all authoritative parties that protocols were followed on calls.
Recording Details of All Homes Cleared in Fire Zones
Fires create unfavorable conditions to work in. There is soot, smoke, and the spray of water hoses in an area. Having a rugged tablet that performs its best when scenarios are the worst is ideal. It doesnt interfere with the devices capability to function efficiently or record details about the different homes cleared in fire zones during high instances of threat. As homes are cleared, information can be entered into tablets while fire teams are in the field, documented in real-time and updated to other team members with access to the network. This prevents redundant work and enhances communication among teams in the field.
The tablets also come with shock and vibration protection. If there are gas explosions, it wont prevent the fire and rescue team from doing their jobs efficiently. They can still provide accurate details about the homes they cleared with greater ease because of their use of rugged tablets. No critical information is lost during the shuffle.
Accounting for Evidence Gathered During Arson Investigations
Any evidence that points to arson as the cause of a fire can also be documented within the tablet in real-time. Arson investigators work closely with fire and rescue teams to get their account of what they witnessed when putting out blazes. If anything seems suspicious, it can be photographed for reference in the future. Evidence that is sensitive in nature that could easily be tampered with can be documented immediately to prevent the loss of it entirely.
An Incredible Tool for Use During Fire Season and Beyond
Theres no room for error when it comes to fire and rescue recordkeeping. Teams require the best equipment, which is why we strive to build the best and most efficient rugged tablets on the market. Energy-efficient and good for use day and night, they provide fire and rescue personnel with the right tools to meet the high demands of their jobs. Harsh conditions are no match for the heavy-duty outer casing made of magnesium-aluminum alloy and ABS/PC plastics which is dust and water-resistant.
